When the gap between management and engineering is widening …

The auto industry today is replete with internal rancor. While the multi-model approach seemed effective at the time it was introduced, ISO/TS, CMMI and Auto SPICE have been poorly integrated throughout North America, and as a result, management and engineering are acting like independent entities. Miscommunication leads to trust issues arising between the “ISO/TS side of the business” (management) and the “CMMI and Auto SPICE side of the business” (engineering). This mistrust leads to friction, which causes waste.

There are many reasons to pursue a Multi-Model Improvement approach to streamlining and strengthening the way you do business:

You are tired of wasting effort by doubling your work – i.e., doing your work in one tool and reporting in another

You are hampered by a widening gap between management and engineering

You are struggling to improve requirements churn and volatility, meet schedule and budget, and perform the work you do every day

You want better visibility

You want to streamline reporting and eliminate duplication and overlap

You want to retain top employees

You want to have better quality products

You want greater customer satisfaction

You want to prevent losing business to competitors

Join us for the latest Webinar in our "Everything You NEED to Know!” Series: “Multi-Model Improvement.” Designed specifically for organizations that have a CMMI Maturity Level 2 or Level 3 rating and want the benefits of aligning CMMI, ISO/TS and Auto SPICE, “Multi-Model Improvement” gives you everything you NEED to get started!
